Christopher Fisher, well-known rcstaur-

dreadful than the pestilence which
stalks abroad at MONDAY.
This is, then, no timo to be guided
by expressions of so-called sympathy.
If Providence helps those wLo help
themselves it is reciprocally true that
He is pitiless of those who show them
selves no mercy. And none of US
need assume to be better than Provi-
dence.
1t should be understood, therefore,
by all concerned that this is the time
for exhaustive, cold blooded searching
for truth, no matter whom it enmeshes
in crime, for if the truth despoil men
or women of liberty they are captives
indeed. This is a time to remember
profoundly that whoever is confronted
with the charge Of arson er pdrte is for
the time being at issue with the welfare
of that vast majority who are not in
court.
Hence, that great tribunal whose
grand assizes are held out of doors will
review with jealous eye every step,
every delay and every incident of this
inquest.
The play has commenced and the
players will be watched.
CITIZENS and taxpayers, look on
this picture, then on that.
Here are the frebugs and a tre
mendous effort to save them from one
of the penalties of arson.
And a like endeavor to infict one
of those penalties.
And here, on the other side, are the
iremen-in need of materials to do
their horoic work efficiently, safely
and comfortably as possible.
How mucl, effort is making to sup
ply them with means to protect your
property "
None whatever.
Property-owners, let this one-sided
business go no farther. Ascertain
from the company all its wants, and
go down into your pockets for the
necessary money.
1t is we'll enough, perhaps, to move
heaven and earth to cure an evil by
punishment of the doers, but it is no
less important to make comfortable
those whose self-appointed mission it
is to fly to our relief when flames
threaten property and life.
We repeat it--find what is needed !;
ascertain cost buy the goods and pre-
sent them to the company.
And then its members will not be
paid even the first instalment of that
incalculable sum the town owes them.
WHERE everybody is concerned the
heroic plan is the best.
If men believe there was a power
behind the Bill Williams throne they
should suffer no consideration to deter
them from aiding IN securing the proof.

The beautiful drama of ''Ingomar'' will

their ability to give good performances, and

late John Mccullough was famous in the
role of "Ingomar' and favorable comparisons

Looks Well for This Year.-The New
York Engineering and Mining Journa, makes
in its reviews of mining stock operations
during 1886 the following report concerning a
matter of local interest
The Cumberland bituminous coal stocks
Consolidation, Maryland, and New Central
were more active than for some years past.
and all show enhanced market values. The
greatest influence in advancing the prices OF
these stocks was sympathy with the general
market, although the actual condition of the
coal trade at the end of the year, and the
prospects for the business of 1887, caused
these stocks to be looked upon with much
favor.
An agreement by the seven coal-producing
regions supplying the seaboard with soft coal
was reached by representatives in Philadel-
phia Wednesday. The allotments will be
submitted to the principals for ratification, and
it is expected that this will be given. Another
meeting is to be held Monday if the delegates
are prepared to sign the compact and the
question of advancing prices will then be
taken up

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
The Progress Made In the Educa-
tiOn of the Saya0eS.


tion of the Savages.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-From the an
nual report of John B. Riley, superin-
tendent of Indian schools, to the secre-
tary of the interior, it appears that the
aggregate expenditure by the govern
ment for the education of Indian chill
dren during the year was s1,095s379. of
which S719.S33 was expended on ac-
count OF the government boarding
schools and $30S, 800 for the support and
education of pupils at contract boarding
schools, most of which are under con-.
troll of religious denominations, as the
chief items The whole number of In:
dian children between the ages of six
and sixteen years is 39,S21. OF this
humber 1882, or about 371S per cent,
attended school some portion of the
year. The proportion of children at
tending school varies widely at differ
ent agencies. Where schools have been
established for several years, with ac-
coinmOdations for a considerable pro-
portion of the pupils, the prejudices
exhibited by the Indians against educa-
ton has largely disappeared. A uni
form system of text books and study,
recommended. The report says that
too much stress cannot be laid upon the
importance of
PREPARING NATIVE TEACHERS,
md to this end suggests that normal
school department be established at
some of the larger schools. 1t is also
suggested that the rudiments. at least,
should be taught Indian children at OF
near their homes. and that the course of
instruction at Eastern schools be
adapted to the wants of pupils who have
shown in the reservation schools special
aptitude, and further, that none but
graduates of the reservation schools be
permitted to attend Eastern schools.
and that such pupils be selected by the
Indian bureau upon certifcation Of good
character and scholarship. The super
intendent makes the following recon-
mendations: That an industrial board
ing school be established near the Mis-
souri, river. adjacent to the Sioux reser-
vation; that schools be provided for the
tribes in Nevada: that a commission be
appointed and empowered to make a
thorough examination Of the whole sub
ject of Indian education. On the whole
the report shows an appreciable advance
during the year in Indian education.

THE LEE MONUMENT.
Its Corner Stone Was Laid a
Richmond, Va, Yesterday.

RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 27.-The day
opened gloomy and wet with no change
in the condition of the weather from
that which has prevailed for three days
past, and Richmond's big day was ush-
cred in with misty rain. which fell
steadily with no indication of cessation.
Despite this, however. the people of
the city and the many thousands of Wis
ltors were early on the streets. and by 9
O'Clock it was plainly evident that Rich
mond's population for the day was
larger than on any previous oc-
casion. At All early hour the
sound of martial music was heard
in every direction. and military
mounted and afoot could be seen NOV
ing to their various positions prepara-
tory to the formation of the procession.

recent illness. Was unable to participate
in to-day's ceremonies, but his brothers,

O'Clock the procession began to move
AT the head of the line came the chief
marshal OF the day, Gen. Wade Hamp-

Then followed the governors staff in
brilliant uniform and the assistant mar
shalS. NeNtin successive order came the
Virginia confederate veteran camps, the
veterans of the Maryland line. the vol
unteer infantry of Virginia and the
North Carolina artillery. and then the
various civic organizations. The whole
made such display as had never before
been seen i'll Richmond. Dense crowds
packed the sidewalks along the whole
route of march. and the enthusiasm of
the pOpulace was given vent to in almost
iDcesSant cheers. About the time the
head of the procession had reached the
western corporate limits, near the mon
ument grounds, Il Steany driZZle of rain
again set in, and continued so that the
programme was cut short by the post
ponement of the reading of the
poem and delivery of the ora
ton. The corner stone. how

Has Left the Baptists.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Mr. Spurgeon has
withdrawn from the Baptist union. In
announcing his decision to withdraw and
replying to his critics, he says:
To pursue union at the expense of the
truth is treason to Jesus. To tamper with
His doctrine is TO become traitors to Him.
We have before us the wretched spectacle of
professedly orthodox Christians publicly
avowing union with those who deny the
faith, call the fall of man Il fable, and deny
the persodality of the Holy Ghost.
Replying to the question why he does
not start Il new denomination he says
that it is Il question for which he has no
liking; that there are enough denOmina-
tions already, and that if another were
formed the thieves and robbers who
have entered the other gardens walled
around would enter it also. so nothing
would be gained. Baptists generally
regret Mr.. Spurgeon's decision and are
urging him to reconsider it.
